We just finished our second Kindergarten Sharing Assembly. This month we are celebrating the character trait "respect". On Monday, we will be celebrating with our grade 1-8 students. Each month we will continue to celebrate our character traits.
An integral part of our school plan is developing students' personal responsibility. This year, Mr. Kuru and Ms. Chandra have introduced to our grade eight classes a new club called "LIVE"- Lambton Intermediate Volunteer Experience. The teachers are currently discussing the initiative with the students. The purpose is to encourage the students to volunteer their time both inside and outside the school. In secondary, 40 hours of volunteering is a requirement for graduation, so this program will begin the process a bit earlier. So many of our students already volunteer so the teachers thought they would "formalize" the process a bit and provide guidance as the kids begin their journey. Students' good deeds will be recognized throughout the year, and at final graduation.
Mrs. Hall and myself have organized a movie night to help fund some extra-curricular activities this year. We will be showing Despicable Me 2 on the 17th. A flyer went home with the youngest in the family this week. If you would like to come, just return the completed form by the 4th and we will send you a ticket. Please make cheques payable to Lamton-Kingsway School.
Finally, the grade 8 girls running club and myself formed a team and will be running the Run for the Cure on October 6th. If you would like to donate to our school team, please log onto the site "Run for the Cure", find the Toronto location, and donate to our LKS School Team. Thank you so much in advance. We have about 17 students and moms running to beat breast cancer.
Saturday is supposed to be beautiful. Enjoy!
